Accessory mitral valve tissue in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) can cause obstruction. This case highlights a rare, isolated mitral valve duplication causing mild subaortic stenosis, emphasizing echocardiography

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease
  • Echocardiography

Background:

  • Accessory mitral valve tissue in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) is a rare cause of obstruction.
  • Previously reported cases often involve complex congenital abnormalities or other forms of LVOT obstruction.

Observation:

  • This report details the first case of mitral valve leaflet duplication as an isolated congenital anomaly.
  • The anomaly resulted in mild subaortic stenosis.

Findings:

  • Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography and Doppler assessment are crucial for diagnosing congenital mitral valve abnormalities.
  • Mitral valve duplication can present as an isolated finding causing subaortic obstruction.

Implications:
